But I really am laughing out loud. I am rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off. In a helicopter. A helicopter that goes swooshswooshswooshdwoosh.

I would never tell them what to do, I just respond by ending every sentence "ha ha, HA haha hooo", copy and paste after every sentence.

For some reason they find it annoying, who knows why? I am confused

p.s. ha ha, HA haha hooo

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 hour ago

Imagine not understanding why being an obnoxious, pedantic twit who mocks others for inconsequential things would annoy people, lol.

Easiest block ever.

Lol.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 points 7 hours ago

You can pry my lol from my cold dead fingers lol

[–] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It masks all the sadness in my heart, lol.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sorry for your loss, move on, lol

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Lots of love?

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (3 children)

I had to teach myself to say lol all the time via text and it absolutely helps with tone, so does using emoji which was something else I had to force myself to do. I seem less mature I guess but I don’t come off as a blunt asshole anymore and my conversations go a lot smoother

[–] Monte_Crisco@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I’m afraid I’ve used “lol” so much for so many years that this is exactly how people will interpret my texts if I suddenly stop now.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 13 minutes ago

U ok? Did we upset you? You seem...tense.

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I perceive lol as slightly unserious / childish, but maybe it's because I'm GenX

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm a Xennial? Born in 1980 so last year of Gen X, first year of Millennials?

I learned back in the early '90s that "lol" made my lighthearted comments appear lighthearted, and not cynical.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

Life is meaningless and the universe is cruel chaos lol

Damn, it really works.

[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I have been called weird or passive aggressive for using punctuation in my text messages. Why do we cater to these people? Why do I care about the opinion of someone who takes to heart whether I use an exclamation point or period at the end of a sentence? It should have been their problem to learn to not make assumptions.

I feel this in my bones.

Scorpy's gonna scorp. XD

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 11 points 11 hours ago

I have a tendency to speak very blunt and directly about most things, so lol is absolute necessity for me online in order to not blatantly spread ragebait everywhere I go lol

[–] DiabolicalBird@lemmy.ca 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Tone is an absolute bitch to convey properly over text, if you don't add indicators it's up to the reader to determine the tone you're using. Miscommunication causes larger problems. Using lol helps indicate a lighter tone so people don't think I'm pissed off or grumpy when I'm not

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 0 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

yeah, I mean that's why emojis exist in the first place.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 43 minutes ago* (last edited 42 minutes ago) (1 children)

Millennials didn't have emojis at first. You realize that, right?

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 1 points 19 minutes ago

Regular text emojis have been around forever. I was talking about those.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

We use a form of speech from before emojis (:

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 42 minutes ago

Hell yeah. :D

Good ol' smileys! :D

And somewhere inbetween, or perhaps alongside the smileys, we had the wonders of kaomoji

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

lol. Yes it's a sentence all by itself, it means nothing, lol.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

I thought it was a little dude throwing a rave in emoji
